I'm not a student anymore, so I'm a bit wary of staying in hostels, I prefer my privacy. But I needed to save money and this hostel couldn't have been more perfect. Very convenient, safe, the beds have a curtain so you have privacy, there is air conditioning so you are comfortable, and you even get a discount at the restaurant, which was very good. I would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful! ☺️

Our only hostel stay on a 3 week tour of Croatia travelling with our 4 yr old so a hostel was a bit of a gamble but after reading previous reviews from families we thought we’d try it.

Greeted by lovely staff.

Room was a compact double (our 4 yr old co sleeps with us anyway but this room size definitely wouldn’t work if not Co sleeping as room is not large enough to accommodate a pull out bed)
Desk, TV, wardrobe and compact shower room

Use of common room - fairly small for a hostel - dining table that seats 6 some taller bar tables, a sofa and bean bags.
Communal fridge/sink, kettle, microwave and 2 burner hob (queues to use at busy periods and this was off season)
Garden area - not set up when we visited in March but I’m sure a lovely space for summer.

Great central location
Excellent breakfast and choices
Good coffee

Would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, it was far better than many of the private apartments we booked along our travels.


Can get clothes washed and dried for €10 ☺️

On my first day, I arrived at the hostel from the airport after 11 PM. The staff (Marija) sent instructions on how to enter the room after the reception was cleared, so I could check in properly and receive my locker key the next morning. I checked out the same way (my return flight was also very early). Downtown Boutique is in the center of the old town, close to everything (about a seven-minute walk from the airport bus stop). The room was on the third floor, facing the courtyard. Clean and had a comfortable bed. Perfect for a budget stay. I'd happily return.

Fantastic location, cozy facilities and really nice restaurant which offers a discount if you're staying there. However and this is true for any hostile or dorm style accommodations. You're taking your chances that the person next to you or several people in the room won't be snoring up a Storm which is what happened to me I didn't sleep it was way too loud. Probably not possible but if they could screen for those who snore that would be so helpful.

Could’ve been better - fobbed off

On checking in we were told there was a problem with the air conditioning which someone would be looking at tomorrow. They did put a fan in the room, but we had to leave the window open all day/night x 4 nights.

Tomorrow never happened which makes me think it was broken before the day we checked in.

We booked a private room with a private bathroom but the hairdryer didn’t work, we were told it would be fixed tomorrow - yep tomorrow never happened, so I had to use the shared bathroom which I didn’t like.

Breakfasts were really good.

Supposed to have daily housekeeping - that didn’t happen, bins not emptied, towels not changed.

My first experience in a hostel, I was impressed overall but annoyed at the issues which weren’t addressed.

No food or any drinks allowed in rooms or 500e fine!!! No water was a bit much considering we had no air conditioning.

Would I go back……. Not sure!

Broken AC during high summer, very disrespectful.

We were given a room with a broken AC during high summer! We could barely sleep at night because it was too hot. I asked them if they were going to fix that and they said they would but they didn’t. Very disrespectful towards customers, they should never ever let people stay in a room where they cannot sleep in. Don’t recommend this place ever.

The property was beautiful, nicely located and clean. They have a very nice restaurant and delicious breakfast. The only negative that I need to say is that they charge you for keeping your luggage until check-in and they won’t let you check-in earlier than the anticipated time. Also, if you don’t have a family room you have to rent towels. Overall was a very nice stay.

Clean, beautifully modern facility in the heart of old town Zadar! The rooms were so thoughtfully designed, the beds with curtains are so cozy and they even have a drop down shelf inside! Looks like the photos! Bathrooms were great and clean! Zadar old town is very small so everything was in walking distance.

Breakfast is good and affordable. There is also a common bar area to meet people. The staff will do your laundry for you for a small fee. The location is a 2-5min walk to everything in Oldtown. Located 1minute from Peoples Square. Not a bad thing to say about this hostel and my time spent in Zadar

The location of the hostel is outstanding, easy to find and ideal for a few days in Zadar. The bed space was clean and functional. However, the actual room could do with a clean, with mirrors so dusty. The showers were good but only 1 female toilet for 6 bedroom dorm room is a bit limiting especially when it’s for other rooms as well.

I would stay again and the beds are comfortable.

perfect location for exploring Zadar

I had a very pleasant stay here. The outstanding benefit was the staff who were very good and nothing was too much trouble- The boss was as good as it gets!

It would be good to update the upper floor dormitory for better AC- as it can't cope at night with 10 humans!
Other than that the facilities are great.

The other benefit is the restaurant below which is very convenient and with a comfortable garden to relax after a hard day at the beach.
Thank You!

Good value stay in the heart of old town

Great location. Shared areas were nice, good decor throughout. We stayed in one of the superior double rooms. Nicely decorated, a little shoddy on the maintenance front (dripping AC unit, loose toilet seat, slow draining shower & sink) but nothing that impacted our stay.

Very upscale dom

I stayed at a women only shared dom on the second floor. Cleanliness really depends on ur dom mates. The Cleaners at the hostel work really hard. It is a shame some folks can’t clean after themselves. The hostel is safe and in excellent location. U get discounts for being guest at the restaurant downstairs for lunch and dinner. Receptionist is excellent. U get a wardrobe with key to keep ur suitcase safe brilliant. I took buses from skradin to zadar and it was easy. It is very safe. U have a security card to unlock ur dom. U can get vegs from green market there at a very good price.

Even though there is a common area in the hostel, it lacks a social atmosphere as there is usually no one over there. Nevetheless, I would still rate the hostel positively as it has a rather conducive environment in terms of quietness.

Pretty updated clean looking hostel with exceptional service. Our sheets were disgustingly stained with who knows what. No ventilation so everything is wet and clammy feeling. Comfortable double mattress instead of two pushed together. In the center of everything, but wouldn’t stay again.

The owners hired the best architect to design this lovely and most efficient building, I was lucky to have the room all to myself, business being slow in the winter. The room had a slanted roof that made it look like a Swiss chalet, the bed was very comfortable, and to top it all, a staircase has been managed for the guy who sleeps above me, so no bother
Marija the receptionist for the week end was most efficient and most competent in her field
It was a great experience and the price was right.

However, the WiFi is not stable, and staff forget to clean the toilets (at least during my stay of 2 nights).

Great location, more basic amenties

Small boutique style hostel/hotel in center of Zadar tourist district. Nice restaurant on site that gives discounts to guests. Most rooms on small side. Wifi down ENTIRE 5 day trip. Was never fixed. Pretty loud until at least midnight with music from bar/cafe. Better suited for younger crowd who will be enjoying city more than hostel. Has elevator. TV has many channels in Croatian, English, German, French and even Arabic.

Great location and staff. Recommended.

+Great location. +Clean. +Staff was very nice and always willing to help with information about the area, beaches, tours, transportation, etc. +There's a small common area and balcony/terrace. +There are electrical outlets near each bed.
+The bathroom is fine. Plenty of hot water. -But, like many hostels, they need to put a little shelf in the shower so you don't have to put your toiletries on the floor.
-The weak point was definitely the wifi. It was really slow and sometimes didn't work.
-There some noise at night from outside, but that didn't bother me at all. Anyway, that's part of having a great location in the center of the old town.
FYI there's no elevator, but I don't think that will matter for most people.
Overall, I definitely recommend this hostel.
Thanks for a nice stay!

Great hostel, location, & staff. HORRIBLE WiFi.

Overall, a great experience. Great location, very clean, very modern, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff.

The only downside is that WiFi at this hostel is HORRIBLE. Didn’t work for most of the 2 night stay I was there. Even though they utilize multiple networks, None of them worked with any degree of consistency. When bringing to the attention of multiple front desk members, they just shrugged it off saying they will “try to fix it later”. Later never came...

Boutique Hostel in the Old City

This was my second visit to this property. The rooms are spacious, beautiful, clean and comfortable. The entire staff, from the reception to housekeeping, and everyone in between is superb and very friendly. Excellent food and beverages in the restaurant, which now includes a magnificent patio for eating or relaxing. This is a must stay if you ever visit Zadar.

Femme dans Dortoir mixte avec 3 hommes et le lit attribué est le seul qui avait un rideau incomplet. J'ai signalé le problème et mon mécontentement d'attribuer à la seule femme de la chambre, le lit avec rideau à moitié, on m'a proposé une chambre seule à 100 €. J'accepte d'être dans Dortoir mixte mais si on a un peu de considération pour les clients, au minimum on fait un peu attention lors de l'attribution des lits.

Ich war sehr begeistert, von der Ausstattung und dem Service eher ein Hotel als ein Hostel. Das Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad war sauber und modern. Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt ist perfekt, trotzdem war es in der Unterkunft sehr ruhig. Im Haus befindet sich ein sehr gutes Restaurant, bei dem Hausgäste sogar einen Rabatt bekommen. Der Personal ist äußerst freundlich, sowohl an der Rezeption als auch im Restaurant.

This hostel is extremely well-situated and clean. The staff is friendly. The rooms are great and you have a big locker to put your things into. However, the kitchen is pretty small and there is only one bathroom stall and one shower stall per floor, so if the hostel is crowded, be ready for a little wait! I definitely recommend this place :))

Bien situé et un accueil froid

L'hôtel est bien situé et reste très calme (on n'entend pas le bruit de la rue).
La chambre individuelle est spacieuse, propre et la salle de bain est très satisfaisante.
Petit déjeuner sommaire.
Espace commun pour ceux que ça intéresse : sommaire, ce n'est pas une vraie auberge de jeunesse avec plein d'espace, c'est une seule petite pièce avec cuisine et salon.
Possibilité de faire une lessive pour 10€ (et on a juste a donné le linge sale, ils s'occupent du reste, c'est très appréciable).
J'aurai pu mettre quasi 5/5 mais :
- la literie est à revoir (ça forme un creux au niveau du dos, c'est peu agréable).
- la dame de l'accueil qui nous a fait le check-in et le check-out devrait trouver un travail sans contact avec la clientèle. Elle est désagréable, non concernée. C'est probablement la personne la plus désagréable existante en Croatie mais on ne gagne pas d'award avec cela.
